At the beginning of October, Marlise, Catherine (from our Kinross Street centre) and I went to Christchurch for the annual Ulearn conference which focusses on ICT (Information and Computer Technology) with new and exciting ways to use the technology with our young children. The conference is for all sectors in education and it is one of the only conferences in New Zealand that all sectors attend. We had a great time and learned lots of fun things, including new ways to use the blog, how to use Skype and stay in touch with friends all around the world and a multitude of other innovative ways to use technology. As always, parent support and feedback is important to us and valued and so please offer tips, advise or if you have any concerns.
Here we are at the conference dinner. The theme was 'let the sun shine in...' I think we did the Early Childhood sector proud with our costumes.
